Testimonials
"John and I would like to thank you for the wonderful music played at our wedding blessing at The Thornton Hall Hotel. So many guests commented on the wonderful choice of music played, the talent of the musicians and the special touch you brought to the day. Many have said you were \'the highlight of the day\' and \'the icing on the cake\'and we have to agree. We would like to thank you for making our day so memorable and would have no hesitation in recommending you to play at any function. We were thrilled with you."
Thanks again, Clare and John
"We
just wanted to thank you all (a little belatedly!) for the music you provided
for our wedding. You played both in the church and at the reception afterwards and were absolutely divine - you really managed to create a fantastic atmosphere. You were all so professional both leading up to and including our big day and we have recommended you to all our friends so hopefully we will get to listen to you again soon! Thank you all once again!"
Best Regards, Karen & Mark
"...the four players of the Bacchus String
Quartet entertained an audience of about 120 people with a concert of light
classical music that was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. These four very
professional musicians played to a standard never achieved before at St.Edmund's
and I am sure that the beautiful sounds created and blended by these four
players relieved all the stress of setting up this years festival... At times it
was as though an orchestra was playing on the stage..."
